So to summarize : Beaches - Philippines. Culture ( Temples) - Thailand Ease of communication/Friendliness - Philippines Infrastructures (Roads, Hotels)- Thailand Less cheaper - Philippines Faster internet- Thailand Island hoping - Philippines Foods - Thailand I am in the US and I have never been to Thailand and Cebu or Mindanao. But if I'm gonna choose, I'll pick Thailand for visit.
@@ryanrhea1 , wtf, we don't care if you're in the US...nobody is holding you to go to Thailand...yabang mo, ulol-WE'RE ALSO IN CALIFORNIA FOR MORE THAN 40 YRS. NOW...
I chose the Philippines because maybe the Philippines is a suitable place to relax in nature, just like Bali even though I'm from Indonesia 😎Indonesia and the Philippines both have many islands 😂👍support Philippines up🔥
When I was in Taipei I met lots of Indonesian women super nice and friendly , so excited I met one lady in OSh Kosh , Wisconsin , from Indonesia again … thank you for these blogg, lots of nice info , take care , be safe in traveling ❤and prayers from USA
I only been to Philippines yet. Been there several trips 9 months together. I LOVE Philippines. The nature, mountains, beaches, waterfalls everywhere. I also like the food overall, bur most of all I love the people, they are amazing. Always a smile, they are helpful, friendly, hospitable and make you feel like you belong to the family. They invite for coffee, beer, food and of course karaoke. But I really want to visit Thailand and the other countries in SE Asia to. Greetings from Sweden!
The advantage when you are in the philippines, almost all Filipinos speak English, are the international language I suppose and more friendly people, and have good foods like adovo.
I'm from Sokor, and I've been in the Philippines 14months and 7months in thailand I love touring around asia like I been in Indonesia and Singapore too. But I prepare Philippines. Nature: Philippines! I'm being bias because I love Boracay and El Nido specially at night it gets busy and I love it! Food: Philippines again, I'm from south korea, spicy food is everywhere but I don't usually eat spicy food. I prepare some light taste. The only problem is Philippine cuisne are a little bit salty for korean like me. Cost: Philippines is more cheaper than Thailand. Culture: I experienced fiesta twice in the philippines In baguio City its flower festival and in Quezon city like random people throwing water on you and I just laughing while getting wet and I don't have clothes that time 🤣😂 I just enjoy it. Language: Philippines because tagalog and english is their national language. They have so many dialect too. Tourism: Thailand because thailand is more organize than Philippines. East to travel: Philippines maybe because I want to go in Siargao and Bohol ☺️
You don't lie!!!! This article is a real petition and article from a Filipino that sees various problems which is more than Thailand in almost every aspect. And knowledgeable and educated people accept these things. But there are still some Filipinos who are still deaf and blind who cannot see the problems of their own country. But trying to cheer for their own country in the wrong way. The more people come out to support the wrong and random things, the bigger it will go causing the country to lack sustainable development. While Thailand has developed very far We can barely keep up. From modern, large airports, infrastructure systems in every province, the country is clean. People with knowledge and education. Here are the Philippine problems that prevent foreign tourists from coming to our country: 1. We do not have a modern infrastructure like Thailand. 2. We do not have modern transportation, Subways, High-speed trains. Double track, Railway system Monorail 3. The internet is weak or non-existent. 4. Power outage (power outage) 5. The water is weak or lacking or there is no water. 6. Robbery at NAIA Airport 7. Accommodation is very expensive. 8. There are many pickpockets, snatchers, and criminals in the Philippines. At the mall there must be soldiers everywhere with guns. 9. There are a lot of illegal taxi and tricycle drivers. Extorting money from locals and tourists Overcharging/defrauding foreign tourists 10. Garbage or rubbish on roads and sidewalks Including in many rivers and canals. 11. Even on beaches, seas, forests, and mountains, there is garbage..plastic bottles, plastic bags, wrapping paper, and other garbage. 12. Vendors sell illegal goods on the street/sidewalk. There were merchants in the middle of Badian Valley. San Sai Panglao and the banks of the seas of El Nido and Coron. Dirty and there is a lot of garbage in our environment and nature. Shop in the right place. 13. Smugglers, street people, and beggars everywhere. especially children that asks for money from foreigners 14. Our medical and public health systems still lag behind when compared to Thailand. Then we say "It's more fun or better in the Philippines" ??? It is very embarrassing! Tourism stimulates our local economy as foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local businesses earn more money. Local and national governments must take some steps to address these issues. I want to see Thailand as a good example of development.
I'm Swiss and my husband is Russian. We love the culture, amazing beauty of the beeches waterfall, forest, friendly Filipinos and uniqueness. We enjoy our holiday staying there than in Thailand.
😜😜Everyone has a brain that can think for themselves. What is true and what is false? I am Spanish and have had the opportunity to travel to both countries. I have been to Thailand more than 8 times and to the Philippines 2 times. If you want to compare Thailand and the Philippines, which one is better? If we speak overall with all the truthful information. 🙏🙏 Thailand is much better than the Philippines in many matters such as infrastructure, transportation, and very convenient travel. Food and living expenses, accommodation, hotels, hospitals, health tourism, cleanliness and hygiene as well as customs and traditions and art and culture. 👿👿 Thailand has is like no other.

For your info...Philippines is voted as the Most diving destination. You can visit different island to snorkle, to dive to see beautiful underwater but need you to be a diving license
Totally agree. As a filipino, i visited thailand before and was amazed by their huge modern airport, bustling city landscape, culture with all the beautiful temples, Golden buddhas and also lots of shopping destinations and food choices. I wanna go back. But when it comes to beaches, Philippines is the best.
Eto ang mga problema ng pinas kaya walang nagtatagal na mga foreign tourists sa ating bansa: 1. Wala tayong modernong infrastructure. 2. Wala tayong modernong transportation 3. Mahina or walang internet 4. Nawawalan ng kuryente (brownout) 5. Mahina or nawawalan or walang tubig 6. Nakawan sa NAIA airport 7. Expensive accomodations 8. Maraming mandurukot, snatchers at mga kriminal 9. Mga ganid na taxi at tricycle drivers over-charging/scamming foreign tourists 10. Mga basura or litters sa kalye at mga bangketa. 11. Pati sa mga beach, dagat, gubat at bundok may mga basura din..mga plastic bottles, plastik supot, wrappers at kung ano ano pang mga litters. 12. Mga illegal vendors sa kalsada/bangketa, may nagtitinda din sa gitna ng badian canyon, panglao sandbar at mga banka sa dagat ng el nido at coron. Kaya madumi at maraming mga basura sa ating mga kapaligiran at kalikasan. MAGTINDA KAYO SA TAMANG LUGAR. 13. Illegal squatters, street dwellers and beggars everywhere, particularly children asking money from foreigners. Tapos sasabihin natin "Its more fun in the Phlippines" ??? Nakakahiya ! Tourism will boost our local economy kasi foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local business to earn more. The local and national government MUST do something to solve/fix these problems.
@@Ravishing_Mr_Perfect BOBA anong walang nagtatagal, dami na ngang foreigners. Sobra ka sa kabobohan. Sa Cebu at Clark na nga lang bago at maganda airports, ganda pa ng designs. Ang ganda ng mga lrt at mrt stations natin. Nakita nga yan s vlog ng mga Africana lalo na yung sa Antipolo at Marikina stations. Yung mga malls natin di ba pinaka maganda at malaki sa buong mundo. Daming magagandang places dito. Katulad mo na misinformed ang mga nagbababa sa bansa natin. Meron kapang lists ng KATANGAHAN mo. Hahaha BOBO. Muchaha ka lang naman sa ibang bansa kung makareklamo ka
@@Ravishing_Mr_PerfectI totally agree cause I have been in Thailand so many times being a flight attendant. I am a Filipino but I want to be honest. We win over having more beautiful beaches, language cause almost everyone speak English, hospitality n kindness to foreigners. The rest I will give it to Thailand: facilities, infrastructures, cleanliness, food even hotels.
I'm neither Thai nor Filipino but I love the Philippines. The places are amazing and especially the people 💜. Love the Philippines and wish to visit more💜

As a Filipino, we love our southeast Asian neighbor countries. Both countries and the other places in Southeast Asia are beautiful in different aspects. 😊 🇵🇭🇹🇭🇰🇭🇱🇦🇲🇲🇲🇾🇮🇩🇻🇳🇹🇱🇧🇳♥️♥️♥️
Philippines will make you fall in love and cry while you are about to leave the island and always think of coming back over and over again and finally settle permanently in this beautuliful paradise.
Im a thai and I dont think either place is better than one another.Its always good to have more destination choices to choose from when it comes to choosing your destinations.
Correct! I really don’t like comparing two countries together because me too believe that it’s up to the person to explore and tell his own views too. Like, this couple has different views and likes than me so it depends on me of what i could say to both countries. I don’t say bad comments to any country because that’s how they are made off and it would hurt their people, let us understand that countries are made of , of what they are depending on the economic situation of that country. Like maybe Thailand is more economically progressive than Philippines that’s why they can afford to put more beautiful BudhaTemples in every corner of their streets whereas Philippines just have few big churches around them.
Philippines and Thailand has it’s own touristic qualities from land formation,beaches,culture,people and food, so you can take the two in your bucket list. I’m from Philippines and Thailand is my respective neighbor country. 😊
Comparing beaches of Thailand and Philippines well I think Philippines is a clear winner since it has 7,000+ islands so you can definitely find many paradise like beaches from white sand of Boracay, pink sand of Bicol and there's also golden sand of Jomalig! There's a lot!
As a Thai person, I look at the color of the water ( sea water) in the Philippines, and I go WOW WOW WOW. Even mountains are more of my choice, but I d love to walk the beaches in those Philippines islands. I d love to sit and drink and get drunk talking to Filipinos, coz here in Bangkok I feel I can relate to the Filipinos. They can talk to them about a lot of things.
U have to similan island in thailand if u are true thai! One of the blogger came to philippines he a see a lot clear turqouise and blue when he visit similan island thailand he changing his mind similan island the bluest clearest water more turqoise than the philippines.🤣🤣😅
@@jeddee3820 we have so many islands in the Philippines that whatever vlogger you’re talking about hasnt even seen. We have many that look like Similan and most of the islands are empty. And our mountains ate higher too. The tallest mountain in Thailand- Doi Inthanon, would not even be top 20 highest mountain in the Philippines
@@kevinjohnduerme8963 we’re talking about beautiful beaches, not cities next to mediocre beaches. The Philippines has thousands of beautiful beaches and most of them have no people on them.
This is so true! I have been to both and nothing compares to my country! And the food too! Thai food has the same flavor while the Philippines has more variety because of the many influences it has like the Spanish, Chinese, American, and Japanese. We have more white sand beaches. Everything is cheap here than in Thailand!
I'm from Philippines but I love Thailand too..But Philippines would be great after this lots of city reclamations will finished soon, lots of massive transpo systems completed...
I love both countries!! Having born in the Philippines and growing up there till age 9, I have a strong connection to the food, especially fruits& vegetables that are readily available here in the US. I wish fresh salads are available throughout Philippines as they are in Thailand. I love northern Thailand, and the beaches in the Philippines are I prefer most!
Home cooked meals of your frnds in the Philippines is much better than the restaurants. Food in restos are so commercialize and very expensive. As a filipino I noticed that also that vegetables salad are rarely sold in the Philippines it is because fruits and vegetables are very expensive here rather than buying a single viand with rice that can make you really full than eating just vegetables or fruits.
I love ❣️❤️❣️ Philippines, people are always welcome there love ❣️ for every tourist, they're happy and more fun... they build two airport, bring more business, speak English that's a winner for me , over all both places have a differential country....
I lived the way you fought yourself with your compassions. It’s like your trying to explain with of your two dogs you love most and why. Sounds like you just love both the way they are. Excellent!
Hey guys, a fair and balanced assessment of both countries. There are definitely pluses and minuses to both. I started watching your channel during the pandemic when you were marooned on El Nido, glad to see the channel grow as it has these past few years. Congrats on 300k subs.👍
What a good blog to listen to both of you , stating comparison between Thailand and Philippines . So happy to hear that Philippines given you more advantages when it comes to beaches , food , and the people and the language . I know you got stranded in the Philippines for 7 months and that’s gives you the experience about the place itself.
Your review is spot on. Couldn’t disagree on anything - natural attractions, culture, people, language and communication, ease of travel, food, etc. - everything is fair and square! You could make a book out of this vlog.
Hi lovely couple, i think in this content, it depends in the personal preference of the traveler or tourist visiting these 2 South-East Asia countries. Depending the personal comfort, confidence and connections which makes a stiff competition between the popular destination(Thailand)versus the underrated destination(the Philippines)of the South-East Asia region among the backpackers, digital nomads and expats options. In the end, you make your own preference which tourism aspect you like most. Cheers to the 2 favorite countries in the SEA region🇵🇭✌🇹🇭
Definitely a fair observation. I'm from the Philippines but have had my fair share of domestic and international travel. Been to Thailand several times too and I think you nailed every aspect of comparison. Personally, I also love Thai food, and a bit of shopping in Thailand. Buddhist temples and ancient cities are also a novelty to me who is from a Christian nation. Culturally, in the Philippines, you see that more in the language, festivals, food, and some colonial architecture, including the centuries old rice terraces and various ethno linguistic tribes and regions.
Mindanao offers very Asian culture which are representative of pre coloniall Filipino culture, unfortunately tourist are afraid to go there but Mindanao landscape and culture are awesome which may also rival Thailand Asian appeal
Amazing comparison video, I've been all over Thailand (6 times) and planning a 1 month odyssey through the Philippines soon. Another thing you could mention is how strict each is with alcohol & drugs, marijuana being legalised in Thailand and being EVERYWHERE 🌿 whilst I heard its a big NO NO in the Philippines..
Chiang Mai was on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally did that trip last year. Northern Thailand intrigued me so much... even took cooking classes when I was there. I just love the historical places and the Lanna cuisine. And I am a Filipino. Thank you for promoting our beaches (the best in the world!) 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
You can cook foods as you like in different dishes, but you cannot build natural white beaches, landscapes, sceneries & waterfalls & most of all hospitable & English speaking people.
But when it comes to cleanliness i say thailand. Lols pinoys are irresponsible with with trashes. Sad but true. Still when it comes to tourism hands down thailand is still the best compare to our country.
@@krakenwindzstorm961 LOL! Have you been to Thailand? Most of their beaches have murky waters as stated by this couple which I can attest to as I have been there 3 times! Unlike 'dirty' Philippines which have crystal clear waters especially in El Nido and Coron!
While Thailand is the better country in terms of Southeat Asian tourism supremacy, the Philippines is still underrated in all aspects but three categories: 1 - beach scenery, 2. people's friendliness, 3. English language proficiency...we are getting there and we will be one of the top destinations in the world in the future for sure.
The Government Needs to Fix ASAP the infrastructure in The Philippines They Were Way Behind Specially Internet’s The Roads Public Toilets PORTS Etc…. And no Electricity Come on So Embarrassing and What happened to ELON MUSK INTERNET Invested in The Philippines Vloggers are Complaining About The SLOW INTERNET…
What we need is a sustainable tourism. Not just the number of tourists coming in. We don’t want to become a tourist haven but the locals cannot compete in terms of price of basic goods even accommodation. And land has become extremely unaffordable for the locals as well. This seems to be what Bali and Thailand experienced before. I hope we learn from them.
@@piacash5216 yes, number 1 public toilet - and even local people who are using public toilet should be responsible enough to keep it clean, no discipline at all especially in disposing tissues and other things. The countries I went, they have very clean public toilet. There should be standard way of collecting fees to avoid over charging especially for transportations, the hotels or inns - justifiable sana ang price so that even local tourists can afford.
As a filipino, i don't like philippines overcrowded with tourist. I want less or theres limit in tourist. Look at thailand overcrowded of tourists there sea water color already murky😮
This episode not only saw a lot of beautiful scenery, but also gained a lot of travel knowledge! After watching, I feel that the two countries have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both are tourist destinations worth visiting! Your analysis and explanations are really detailed, really great job, thank you so much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏🙌
I am from the Philippines and I really find this review objective. I went to Thailand years ago and I also have the same thoughts as you do. Thailand and the Philippines have their own strengths.❤
domestic tourism is more in the Philippines since the beauty of the Philippines is composed of different islands, we do want to go to the different places first before we go to other countries. infrasturcture is difficult here, take note we are always in the mercy of mother nature. the Philippines is a country that is more affected by climate change than any other country. that why infrutructure is more difficult because we nee to build it considering the natural disasters that we experience every year.
@@consorciaperalta3697 Thai food has more varieties and so much more popular. From street food to Michelin star Thai restaurants. But I never heard of Michelin star Philippino restaurants. Outside Thailand you can find Thai restaurants in many countries but I never seen Philippines restaurants. If it’s good why there’re not many Philippino restaurants worldwide?. Even Vietnamese is much more popular than Philippines food.
Being a Filipino living in Thailand for 34 years I have seen Thailand progress in terms of music, fashion and infrastructure. I love it here but of course I love my country the most! What made me stay here up to now is my job and my family whom I bring up here. When I retire I may go home for good with the hope that the Philippines will have improved by PBBM's administration. Still, Philippine beaches are the best!
@@JaiPickOfficial Bakit in the last 30+ years before FPRRD, umasenso ba ang Pilipinas. Ano ang naipatayo, anong mga highway ang nagawa, ilang Airport, bridges, schools? Sa tinatawag mong magnanakaw, bakit bumaba ang unemployment. Research ka nga, tingnan mo kung bakit mismong mga Chinese are leaving China in the hundreds of thousands? ( Unemployment of course). Look into homeless people in US and Canada then compare sa housing ni FPPRD and now PBBM. Kayo talaga, yong perang inilagay sa infrastructures tinatawag nyong ninakaw pero yong milyones na ginastos kuno sa nag collapse na kahoy na bridge, tulay na walang tubig, pabahay na coco ang ginamit ay ok sa inyo? Maski ba dito sa mga bloggers na nag enjoy sa Pinas ay sisiraan nyo pa si PBBM.Anong klaseng citizen kayo?
They didn't choose the Philippines. In fact, they'd much rather prefer Bangkok over Manila. And they wouldn't stay in Brownout-infested Philippines due to their jobs as vlogging travelers. They just compared the two countries.
Great content, but I must react on one point : the cost. I just spent 2 months around Thailand (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, Koh Kood - the best -, Koh Mak, Chiang Mai and of course Bangkok), and it is wayyy cheaper then El Nido, for exemple. You can pay more in Thailand for some rooftops, trendy bars, western food, but you always have A LOT of street food and cheap options, especially for the food and the accommodations. In the Philippines, you have way less choices, and the averages prices are higher!
Yes Thailand definitely has way more food and accommodation options due to being more touristy, especially with street food as you mentioned. In our experience recently visiting both countries we actually paid less for accommodation in the philippines though and even in el nido, guess it depends on what each person finds. El Nido might be the most extreme of them all in the philippines, the same way Phuket seemed to be way more expensive than anywhere else that we visited in Thailand. Where else did you go in the Philippines?

Thank you for this video! Much needed and appreciated. We always go to Thailand, different islands for our vacations. This year we booked Philippines and needed this compare video. Now so excited to go in November. We only have 3 weeks and chose El Nido, Boracay, and Coron.
@@kimlove5760not when you stay in the resorts. The beaches in the resorts are private and no vendors allowed. You have the peace and tranquility to enjoy the sun
Try visiting Isla Gigantes in Iloilo which is very near in Boracay since it's the same Island in Panay. Also Iloilo is awarded as the most cleanest City in the Philippines and I hope you can visit the City and its long river esplanade.
Thank you for sharing this! I really appreciate the objective viewpoint of your experiences. I’m from Canada and I’ve been to both places and I do love both places for different reasons. I’m a nature lover though and I do love the diversity of landscape and climates in the Philippines and the culture itself feels like a a diverse mix of Latin America, Pacific Islands, Asia and Europe. It’s quite unique.
Great comparisons guys In my own personal opinion, Philippines have the best beaches for sure but Thailand has a lot more to offer with culture, food and everything else so I would go for Thailand. However, I love both countries
Both countries are beautiful. Each country has it's own beauty and charm. All the signs, signages and directions to locations in the Philippines are readable in English or Spanish. The local peoples of both countries are friendly and love to smile. You can easily converse or share a joke with Filipinos they being English speakers. Going to a hospital or a pharmacy is easier in the Philippines because English communication is no problem. English is the 2nd official language of the Philippines.
When you choose between Philippines & Thailand its like you choose between Apple & Orange, Hands down both countries are beautiful with unique attraction from their own countries..But for me it's Philippines..you can find in the Philippines some more unique beauty of nature & wonder of nature which are not man made such as Mt.Mayon, Chocolate Hills etc..
For me you can find the country that have beautiful beaches everywhere….. but you can’t easily find the country in Southeast Asia that has the most ancient and strongest cultures to the root and top like Thailand, which is never ever colonized by others countries before. And I really Pround of it 🙏🏼. #thankyou for visiting us even in short term. Hope you both can stay in Thailand more longer then you will see a lot of things that you miss.✌🏼😊
I like the balance comparison of Thailand and the Philippines. I too wanted to visit Thailand, I like their culture and history of kingdoms of the past way back thousands of years and they are in national geographic series also. The Philippines don't have that archeological structure to offer because as we all know we are just a small group of tribes living on different islands of the past.
for me, the PI for the amazing water and rustic experience, Thailand for the food and city and cultural experience. another great video 👍🏻🙏🏻 cheers and obrigado
Ive watched alot of your videos, but this was the first one in almost a year. It is nice to hear Carol talk to us - in the episodes I saw before, she barely talked at all.
If you're a UA-camr, definitely choose the Philippines because Filipinos love foreigner saying something nice about the country. If you like better food, faster internet, more convenient metro rail and nicer international airport..choose Thailand.
Both countries are beautiful. They are incomparable because each country has its own unique feature. They are both cheap though Philippines is little more pricey when it comes to transportation and accomodation.
Agreed. These two countries shouldn’t be compared but PH vs some country, especially Thailand, contents usually get the most views and comments from the proud Filipinos which help your channel grow fast. Can’t wait for PH vs the world!
For many years, Hotel in ph were more costly than Thailand. But, times have changed. Internet has increased competition and reach. Many new hotels and new Airbnb in Makati and other places in ph.
had to leave a comment because this video is extremely detailed & covers all of the important points to consider when planning a trip. thank you guys so much for taking the time & effort to produce this video!! a friend & i were looking for somewhere in southeast asia for our next travel, we really wanted somewhere that was affordable, laid-back & relaxing. we both love nature & beaches a lot, after watching your video, we'll consider the Philippines!
Really enjoyed this comparison, as I have been torn between both as upcoming travel destinations. Thanks for making the decision easier for me and thank you as well for being the travel vloggers whose opinions matter most to me. Given the wealth of online content contributors who specialize in both of these two particular locations, and southeast Asia overall, it is a great comfort to me to have the benefit of your like-minded advice and impressions.
As a Filipino who’ve travelled and enjoyed Thailand thrice, I guess the number one issue with my own country is it is too spread out. That is why I was quite surprise to hear Chris and Carol say it is less expensive here when one need to hop on a plane, ferry, boats, etc going to island destinations. Reason why these foreign vloggers are closely followed by locals, and read comments how they have been to places in the Philippines most locals haven’t had the chance of visiting.
You hit the spot on the two. There'll always be a comparison between Thailand and the Philippines. In a nutshell, Thailand is better infrastructure-wise, as well as in food. The Philippines is with many more islands and is more rustic, much lesser number of tourists. - a Pinoy who's lived in Bangkok once before
@@lourdes86179 Maybe. But not in Cebu. I just went there last week and the roads are like you're walking on the moon, like craters; so many potholes everywhere. Terrible roads.
@@potatoprincess1517Cebu's roads have been terrible way BEFORE Typhoon Odette, pa. So to say the poor infrastructure of Cebu was caused by the typhoon is quite LAME.
Philippines considered to be as a best destination place in world why is that most foreign vloggers stays longer and keep coming back comparing to the other countries it is not the food the places, but the people who are not only hospitable but considered as generous and voted amongst the top ten best friendliest people in the entire planet and can be easily to communicate because we can be able to speak better in English comparing to Thailand salamat Po babalik at babalik pa mga Yan seriously honestly,always be safe guys it means that both of you will sure be back here in the country salamat and God Blessed 😊👍
Yup I agree last year I visited Thailand and last week I returned from Philippines 🇵🇭 both are amazing but if u want to enjoy beaches and peace Philippines is best and peaple are so humble over there while Thailand has great nightlife
So to summarize : Beaches - Philippines. Culture ( Temples) - Thailand Ease of communication/Friendliness - Philippines Infrastructures (Roads, Hotels)- Thailand Less cheaper - Philippines Faster internet- Thailand Island hoping - Philippines Foods - Thailand I am in the US and I have never been to Thailand and Cebu or Mindanao. But if I'm gonna choose, I'll pick Thailand for visit.
I am from Indonesia, and I prefer Thailand over the Philippines. I love Thai foods, cultures, and nature more. The people are not only friendly but very polite too...I have one friend from Thai and he is really nice. Wish the majority of Thai people are nice like him.
I am from Philippines and i work in a Thai Restaurant here in the US for 12 years , all of the noodles they cook have the same sauce in it , all of the stir fry have the same too, and all of the salads have the same sauce , its been 2 years and a half i change my job but i never missed any of their food, honestly. FYI , Filipinos are known to be the 2nd friendliest Hospitable, warm and kind people in Asia 2nd to Cambodia
I was born in the Philippines in the 1970’s, and starting with kindergarten I was taught in English in a public school system. Even my parents growing up were taught in English, so they start us off early! 😊
yes lots of backpackers in thailand because it is a continues land until vietnam. its easy for the travelers to go every places where as in Philippines we are divided by islands
I've been to European Coast, Caribbean, Thailand, but nothing compare to powdery white sands and crystal clear water of Philippine beaches... But I love the culture of Thailand, really amazing...
Thanks for a bunch of key points of constructive criticism for the Philippines 🇵🇭 🤔 I kinda like it said genuinely straight from tourist bloggers like both of you ❤️❤️❤️ I just want the Philippine government had sometime reading and reviewing videos like this from critic bloggers nowadays so that.. they would have better understanding on how to enrich more our potential for tourism 🙄.. #DOTR #DENR #raffytulfo #philippinegovernment
When all the infra projects finished, that the 2 previous admins started it will be a lot easier to travel in PH. Also the cuŕrent admin is going to add more infras, depends on the budget and the country's credit standing.

When it comes to beaches= philippines. When it comes to megacity= thailand When it comes to english speaking population = philipines. When it comes to food( specially streetfood)= thailand. When it comes to public transport= thailand. When it comes to various infrastructures( internet, airport, railways, seaports, roads, buildings, factories)= thailand. When it comes to better standard of living= thailand. When it comes to lower cost of living= thailand. Higher gdp and gdp per capita= thailand.
@Chris Jess LOL! I've been to Koh Lipe. It's nothing compared to the beautiful islands and beaches in the Philippines with white sands and crytal clear waters!
@@jeddee3820 I've been to Boracay, El Nido and Coron. In Thailand, I've been to Bangkok, Koh Lipe, Phuket, Phi phi and the surrounding islands including Monkey, Maya Bay, etc. I don't care if you believe me or not!
Chris & Carol: These two Southeast Asian countries are just remarkable for ALL tourists to visit in 2023.There are many great beaches, restaurants,hotels, entertainment centers,malls, etc. in 2023❤❤❤
I think you both are really in the best position to do this kind of video bec you’ve traveled extensively, stayed long periods and even explored and visited non-touristy areas
I'm Filipino: Thailand has better cuisine. Hands down, probably the best in Southeast Asia. The Philippines has better and more beaches, since it's an archipelagic country, unlike Thailand which is a mainland Asian country and has much lesser islands. The Philippines has better dive sites and marine biodiversity since it is in the center of the Coral Triangle, while Thailand is not. Waterfalls are the same. Since both are limestone karst-rich countries. With blue waters. Thailand has more exotic traditional art and culture, the Philippines is more Hispanicized and Americanized. So Thailand has gorgeous temples, the Philippines has old churches. Thailand has better tourism infrastructure, better internet, more hotels. The Philippines is really still just starting to develop its tourism industry. But that has downsides too, Thailand is far more crowded and more expensive, in contrast to the Philippines where you can still find isolated tourist areas known only to locals and is much cheaper.
As a Filipino we’d been 3 times in Thailand and we enjoyed very much roaming all around Thailand. The foods is delicious only very hot hot for me it does not matter where you are important is, you enjoyed your vacation and thats all that matters. I loved Thailand too❤️
I am Thai and I love Philippines no matter what you compare I think it good to get the attention. Both countries have their own identity
i'm filipino and been there to thailand. thailand is way developed in terms of tourism infra. philippines is not yet there.
Sawadi, krab. True. - a Filipino
That's very true.
So to summarize :
Beaches - Philippines.
Culture ( Temples) - Thailand
Ease of communication/Friendliness - Philippines
Infrastructures (Roads, Hotels)- Thailand
Less cheaper - Philippines
Faster internet- Thailand
Island hoping - Philippines
Foods - Thailand

I chose the Philippines because maybe the Philippines is a suitable place to relax in nature, just like Bali even though I'm from Indonesia 😎Indonesia and the Philippines both have many islands 😂👍support Philippines up🔥
Yes Indonesia and Philippines are cousins. Support Indonesia from Philippines. Thailand are not related to us.

I love Indonesian people we have some similarities. Anyway thank you. Mabuhay!
@@marilynvillanueva8343 thank you philpina ❤️
I only been to Philippines yet. Been there several trips 9 months together. I LOVE Philippines. The nature, mountains, beaches, waterfalls everywhere. I also like the food overall, bur most of all I love the people, they are amazing. Always a smile, they are helpful, friendly, hospitable and make you feel like you belong to the family. They invite for coffee, beer, food and of course karaoke. But I really want to visit Thailand and the other countries in SE Asia to. Greetings from Sweden!
The advantage when you are in the philippines, almost all Filipinos speak English, are the international language I suppose and more friendly people, and have good foods like adovo.
Thank you for liking Philippines. Mabuhay
Thank you for sharing 😊
I love my country
I'm from Sokor, and I've been in the Philippines 14months and 7months in thailand I love touring around asia like I been in Indonesia and Singapore too. But I prepare Philippines.
Nature: Philippines! I'm being bias because I love Boracay and El Nido specially at night it gets busy and I love it!
Food: Philippines again, I'm from south korea, spicy food is everywhere but I don't usually eat spicy food. I prepare some light taste. The only problem is Philippine cuisne are a little bit salty for korean like me.
Cost: Philippines is more cheaper than Thailand.
Culture: I experienced fiesta twice in the philippines In baguio City its flower festival and in Quezon city like random people throwing water on you and I just laughing while getting wet and I don't have clothes that time 🤣😂 I just enjoy it.
Language: Philippines because tagalog and english is their national language. They have so many dialect too.
Tourism: Thailand because thailand is more organize than Philippines.
East to travel: Philippines maybe because I want to go in Siargao and Bohol ☺️
❤❤ see you again here in philippines
Come to cebu when you come to the philippines!
You don't lie!!!! This article is a real petition and article from a Filipino that sees various problems which is more than Thailand in almost every aspect. And knowledgeable and educated people accept these things. But there are still some Filipinos who are still deaf and blind who cannot see the problems of their own country. But trying to cheer for their own country in the wrong way. The more people come out to support the wrong and random things, the bigger it will go causing the country to lack sustainable development. While Thailand has developed very far We can barely keep up. From modern, large airports, infrastructure systems in every province, the country is clean. People with knowledge and education.
Here are the Philippine problems that prevent foreign tourists from coming to our country:
1. We do not have a modern infrastructure like Thailand.
2. We do not have modern transportation, Subways, High-speed trains. Double track, Railway system Monorail
3. The internet is weak or non-existent.
4. Power outage (power outage)
5. The water is weak or lacking or there is no water.
6. Robbery at NAIA Airport
7. Accommodation is very expensive.
8. There are many pickpockets, snatchers, and criminals in the Philippines. At the mall there must be soldiers everywhere with guns.
9. There are a lot of illegal taxi and tricycle drivers. Extorting money from locals and tourists Overcharging/defrauding foreign tourists
10. Garbage or rubbish on roads and sidewalks Including in many rivers and canals.
11. Even on beaches, seas, forests, and mountains, there is garbage..plastic bottles, plastic bags, wrapping paper, and other garbage.
12. Vendors sell illegal goods on the street/sidewalk. There were merchants in the middle of Badian Valley. San Sai Panglao and the banks of the seas of El Nido and Coron. Dirty and there is a lot of garbage in our environment and nature. Shop in the right place.
13. Smugglers, street people, and beggars everywhere. especially children that asks for money from foreigners
14. Our medical and public health systems still lag behind when compared to Thailand.
Then we say "It's more fun or better in the Philippines" ??? It is very embarrassing! Tourism stimulates our local economy as foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local businesses earn more money. Local and national governments must take some steps to address these issues. I want to see Thailand as a good example of development.
looks like he haven't seen enough of thailand
and don't bother to suddenly replyn mze!
I'm Swiss and my husband is Russian. We love the culture, amazing beauty of the beeches waterfall, forest, friendly Filipinos and uniqueness. We enjoy our holiday staying there than in Thailand.

Thank you for loving our paradise country Philippines...please come again for a visit..❤❤❤
😜😜Everyone has a brain that can think for themselves. What is true and what is false? I am Spanish and have had the opportunity to travel to both countries. I have been to Thailand more than 8 times and to the Philippines 2 times. If you want to compare Thailand and the Philippines, which one is better? If we speak overall with all the truthful information. 🙏🙏
Thailand is much better than the Philippines in many matters such as infrastructure, transportation, and very convenient travel. Food and living expenses, accommodation, hotels, hospitals, health tourism, cleanliness and hygiene as well as customs and traditions and art and culture. 👿👿
Thailand has is like no other. Thailand is many times superior to the Philippines. Don't lie to yourself. People who have been to both countries will know. People all over the world know, what is truth, what is lies? Can't fool each other and another thing. Thailand has been ranked as the most visited tourist destination in the world for many consecutive years. 😭😭🙏🙏

Just arrived home after 5 weeks in Philippines been there 13 times now and 4 times in Thailand I prefer Philippines
Wow 13! Which places do you like the most there?
@@JumpingPlaces coron palawan . camiguin Island and balabac south of palawan is amazing and surigao. Have much more to explore .

@@JumpingPlaces awesome yes i saw that episode and felt happy
For your info...Philippines is voted as the Most diving destination. You can visit different island to snorkle, to dive to see beautiful underwater but need you to be a diving license
As I’m Thai I think Philippines have the most beautiful beach in Southeast Asia.

Yes! because Philippines has 7,647 beautiful & gorgeous islands so it's true! Philippines have more more beautiful & amazing beaches than Thailand.
แต่การเดินทาง ระบบจัดการ ไทยชนะ
พวกปินมันชอบคอมเม้นว่ามันเป็นคนไทยเเต่ยกให้ปินชนะไรประมานนี้ อย่าไปเชื่อมันครับ55
Totally agree. As a filipino, i visited thailand before and was amazed by their huge modern airport, bustling city landscape, culture with all the beautiful temples, Golden buddhas and also lots of shopping destinations and food choices. I wanna go back. But when it comes to beaches, Philippines is the best.
May buddha ba dito? Syempre wala hahaha
Eto ang mga problema ng pinas kaya walang nagtatagal na mga foreign tourists sa ating bansa:
1. Wala tayong modernong infrastructure.
2. Wala tayong modernong transportation
3. Mahina or walang internet
4. Nawawalan ng kuryente (brownout)
5. Mahina or nawawalan or walang tubig
6. Nakawan sa NAIA airport
7. Expensive accomodations
8. Maraming mandurukot, snatchers at mga kriminal
9. Mga ganid na taxi at tricycle drivers over-charging/scamming foreign tourists
10. Mga basura or litters sa kalye at mga bangketa.
11. Pati sa mga beach, dagat, gubat at bundok may mga basura din..mga plastic bottles, plastik supot, wrappers at kung ano ano pang mga litters.
12. Mga illegal vendors sa kalsada/bangketa, may nagtitinda din sa gitna ng badian canyon, panglao sandbar at mga banka sa dagat ng el nido at coron. Kaya madumi at maraming mga basura sa ating mga kapaligiran at kalikasan. MAGTINDA KAYO SA TAMANG LUGAR.
13. Illegal squatters, street dwellers and beggars everywhere, particularly children asking money from foreigners.
Tapos sasabihin natin "Its more fun in the Phlippines" ??? Nakakahiya ! Tourism will boost our local economy kasi foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local business to earn more. The local and national government MUST do something to solve/fix these problems.
@@Ravishing_Mr_Perfect BOBA anong walang nagtatagal, dami na ngang foreigners. Sobra ka sa kabobohan. Sa Cebu at Clark na nga lang bago at maganda airports, ganda pa ng designs.

@@Ravishing_Mr_PerfectI totally agree cause I have been in Thailand so many times being a flight attendant. I am a Filipino but I want to be honest. We win over having more beautiful beaches, language cause almost everyone speak English, hospitality n kindness to foreigners. The rest I will give it to Thailand: facilities, infrastructures, cleanliness, food even hotels.
I'm neither Thai nor Filipino but I love the Philippines. The places are amazing and especially the people 💜. Love the Philippines and wish to visit more💜
Thank u so much💞🇵🇭
You know the philippines would be even better if it wasn't the path of the typhoon. But the people are the heart and soul of the Philippines.

Thank for the videos
As a Filipino, we love our southeast Asian neighbor countries. Both countries and the other places in Southeast Asia are beautiful in different aspects. 😊 🇵🇭🇹🇭🇰🇭🇱🇦🇲🇲🇲🇾🇮🇩🇻🇳🇹🇱🇧🇳♥️♥️♥️
Love you ❤from 🇻🇳
We are currently in India 🇮🇳 so we can't wait to arrive in Phillphines for some relaxation.
Philippines will make you fall in love and cry while you are about to leave the island and always think of coming back over and over again and finally settle permanently in this beautuliful paradise.
I'm Thai but I love Philippines islands as well. Go to both countries !!!
เป็นคนไทยจริงๆรึเปล่าครับ อยากเช็คดูหน่อย
เคຍไປจริງໆ เหຣอคະ?
Fake thai HAHAHA
Im a thai and I dont think either place is better than one another.Its always good to have more destination choices to choose from when it comes to choosing your destinations.
Yup uplifting neighboring sisters and brothers. I love all our neighbor country. At the end of the day we are one. All asian
Haha shut up pignoy your not thai ahah cuz thai don't talk english..
Correct! I really don’t like comparing two countries together because me too believe that it’s up to the person to explore and tell his own views too. Like, this couple has different views and likes than me so it depends on me of what i could say to both countries. I don’t say bad comments to any country because that’s how they are made off and it would hurt their people, let us understand that countries are made of , of what they are depending on the economic situation of that country. Like maybe Thailand is more economically progressive than Philippines that’s why they can afford to put more beautiful BudhaTemples in every corner of their streets whereas Philippines just have few big churches around them.
Philippines and Thailand has it’s own touristic qualities from land formation,beaches,culture,people and food, so you can take the two in your bucket list. I’m from Philippines and Thailand is my respective neighbor country. 😊
It's more Fun in the Philippines
Philippines is the happiest people in the world 😊😊😊 despite of many Problems
Comparing beaches of Thailand and Philippines well I think Philippines is a clear winner since it has 7,000+ islands so you can definitely find many paradise like beaches from white sand of Boracay, pink sand of Bicol and there's also golden sand of Jomalig! There's a lot!
As a Thai person, I look at the color of the water ( sea water) in the Philippines, and I go WOW WOW WOW. Even mountains are more of my choice, but I d love to walk the beaches in those Philippines islands. I d love to sit and drink and get drunk talking to Filipinos, coz here in Bangkok I feel I can relate to the Filipinos. They can talk to them about a lot of things.
U have to similan island in thailand if u are true thai! One of the blogger came to philippines he a see a lot clear turqouise and blue when he visit similan island thailand he changing his mind similan island the bluest clearest water more turqoise than the philippines.🤣🤣😅
@@jeddee3820 we have so many islands in the Philippines that whatever vlogger you’re talking about hasnt even seen. We have many that look like Similan and most of the islands are empty. And our mountains ate higher too. The tallest mountain in Thailand- Doi Inthanon, would not even be top 20 highest mountain in the Philippines
Bro, Pattaya is the best city in South East Asia!!! Because Pattaya is the MIAMI of Thailand!!!
@@kevinjohnduerme8963 we’re talking about beautiful beaches, not cities next to mediocre beaches. The Philippines has thousands of beautiful beaches and most of them have no people on them.
@Jenny Zubiri Pattaya Beach and Jomtien plus Koh Larn beaches are not mediocre bro. They are world class!!!
This is so true! I have been to both and nothing compares to my country! And the food too! Thai food has the same flavor while the Philippines has more variety because of the many influences it has like the Spanish, Chinese, American, and Japanese. We have more white sand beaches. Everything is cheap here than in Thailand!
I'm from Philippines but I love Thailand too..But Philippines would be great after this lots of city reclamations will finished soon, lots of massive transpo systems completed...
Have been Thailand many times, but after your vlogs from the fhillipins , so is it on my bucketlist now thx 😀👍
I love both countries!! Having born in the Philippines and growing up there till age 9, I have a strong connection to the food, especially fruits& vegetables that are readily available here in the US. I wish fresh salads are available throughout Philippines as they are in Thailand. I love northern Thailand, and the beaches in the Philippines are I prefer most!
Home cooked meals of your frnds in the Philippines is much better than the restaurants. Food in restos are so commercialize and very expensive. As a filipino I noticed that also that vegetables salad are rarely sold in the Philippines it is because fruits and vegetables are very expensive here rather than buying a single viand with rice that can make you really full than eating just vegetables or fruits.
I love ❣️❤️❣️ Philippines, people are always welcome there love ❣️ for every tourist, they're happy and more fun... they build two airport, bring more business, speak English that's a winner for me , over all both places have a differential country....
I lived the way you fought yourself with your compassions. It’s like your trying to explain with of your two dogs you love most and why. Sounds like you just love both the way they are. Excellent!
I love Thailand, Thai people and Thai food, my opinion it’s the happiest place on earth
Thanks for appreciating Philippines 🇵🇭 love you guys 👦 ❤️
Hey guys, a fair and balanced assessment of both countries. There are definitely pluses and minuses to both. I started watching your channel during the pandemic when you were marooned on El Nido, glad to see the channel grow as it has these past few years. Congrats on 300k subs.👍
Thanks for appreciating our country The Philippines 🇵🇭 . Mabuhay!
What a good blog to listen to both of you , stating comparison between Thailand and Philippines . So happy to hear that Philippines given you more advantages when it comes to beaches , food , and the people and the language . I know you got stranded in the Philippines for 7 months and that’s gives you the experience about the place itself.
Your review is spot on. Couldn’t disagree on anything - natural attractions, culture, people, language and communication, ease of travel, food, etc. - everything is fair and square! You could make a book out of this vlog.
Hi lovely couple, i think in this content, it depends in the personal preference of the traveler or tourist visiting these 2 South-East Asia countries. Depending the personal comfort, confidence and connections which makes a stiff competition between the popular destination(Thailand)versus the underrated destination(the Philippines)of the South-East Asia region among the backpackers, digital nomads and expats options. In the end, you make your own preference which tourism aspect you like most. Cheers to the 2 favorite countries in the SEA region🇵🇭✌🇹🇭
Definitely a fair observation. I'm from the Philippines but have had my fair share of domestic and international travel. Been to Thailand several times too and I think you nailed every aspect of comparison. Personally, I also love Thai food, and a bit of shopping in Thailand. Buddhist temples and ancient cities are also a novelty to me who is from a Christian nation. Culturally, in the Philippines, you see that more in the language, festivals, food, and some colonial architecture, including the centuries old rice terraces and various ethno linguistic tribes and regions.
Mindanao offers very Asian culture which are representative of pre coloniall Filipino culture, unfortunately tourist are afraid to go there but Mindanao landscape and culture are awesome which may also rival Thailand Asian appeal
Amazing comparison video, I've been all over Thailand (6 times) and planning a 1 month odyssey through the Philippines soon. Another thing you could mention is how strict each is with alcohol & drugs, marijuana being legalised in Thailand and being EVERYWHERE 🌿 whilst I heard its a big NO NO in the Philippines..
most of the politicians in the Philippines are in favor of legalizing marijuana now.
No sex tourism and no drugs
Marijuana is not legal here in the Philippines
Chiang Mai was on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally did that trip last year. Northern Thailand intrigued me so much... even took cooking classes when I was there. I just love the historical places and the Lanna cuisine. And I am a Filipino.
Thank you for promoting our beaches (the best in the world!) 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Philippines! in terms of white beaches, clear water, beautiful landscape scenery, water falls. philippines standout no bias.❤️🇵🇭
And volcanoes which they dont have in Thailand.
You can cook foods as you like in different dishes, but you cannot build natural white beaches, landscapes, sceneries & waterfalls & most of all hospitable & English speaking people.
English speaking!
But when it comes to cleanliness i say thailand. Lols pinoys are irresponsible with with trashes. Sad but true.
Still when it comes to tourism hands down thailand is still the best compare to our country.
@@krakenwindzstorm961 LOL! Have you been to Thailand? Most of their beaches have murky waters as stated by this couple which I can attest to as I have been there 3 times! Unlike 'dirty' Philippines which have crystal clear waters especially in El Nido and Coron!
While Thailand is the better country in terms of Southeat Asian tourism supremacy, the Philippines is still underrated in all aspects but three categories: 1 - beach scenery, 2. people's friendliness, 3. English language proficiency...we are getting there and we will be one of the top destinations in the world in the future for sure.
The Government Needs to Fix ASAP the infrastructure in The Philippines They Were Way Behind Specially Internet’s The Roads Public Toilets PORTS Etc…. And no Electricity Come on So Embarrassing and What happened to ELON MUSK INTERNET Invested in The Philippines Vloggers are Complaining About The SLOW INTERNET…
What we need is a sustainable tourism. Not just the number of tourists coming in. We don’t want to become a tourist haven but the locals cannot compete in terms of price of basic goods even accommodation. And land has become extremely unaffordable for the locals as well. This seems to be what Bali and Thailand experienced before. I hope we learn from them.
@@piacash5216 yes, number 1 public toilet - and even local people who are using public toilet should be responsible enough to keep it clean, no discipline at all especially in disposing tissues and other things. The countries I went, they have very clean public toilet. There should be standard way of collecting fees to avoid over charging especially for transportations, the hotels or inns - justifiable sana ang price so that even local tourists can afford.

This episode not only saw a lot of beautiful scenery, but also gained a lot of travel knowledge!

Your analysis and explanations are really detailed, really great job, thank you so much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏🙌
Tour to the world
@@nart204 Thanks a lot for telling me that!
I am from the Philippines and I really find this review objective. I went to Thailand years ago and I also have the same thoughts as you do. Thailand and the Philippines have their own strengths.❤
Im from Thailand..I love Philippines because of the beaches and Good people in province.
domestic tourism is more in the Philippines since the beauty of the Philippines is composed of different islands, we do want to go to the different places first before we go to other countries. infrasturcture is difficult here, take note we are always in the mercy of mother nature. the Philippines is a country that is more affected by climate change than any other country. that why infrutructure is more difficult because we nee to build it considering the natural disasters that we experience every year.
What months to avoid for such weather?
@@sleepnomore6065around may-oct. since typhoons happen around these months
Awwww Filipinos love you guys! Looking forward to your return in PH! Hope there will be a fan meet next time. 🙂
for me the beaches and islands of the Philippines is simple World class. thailand goods for culture and foods.
Filipino food is so underated, there is so much variety, unlike Thai food which almost tall aste the same
@@consorciaperalta3697 Thai food has more varieties and so much more popular. From street food to Michelin star Thai restaurants. But I never heard of Michelin star Philippino restaurants. Outside Thailand you can find Thai restaurants in many countries but I never seen Philippines restaurants. If it’s good why there’re not many Philippino restaurants worldwide?. Even Vietnamese is much more popular than Philippines food.
Lol
Philippines! Where everybody's Happy! Amazing 🎉
Being a Filipino living in Thailand for 34 years I have seen Thailand progress in terms of music, fashion and infrastructure. I love it here but of course I love my country the most! What made me stay here up to now is my job and my family whom I bring up here. When I retire I may go home for good with the hope that the Philippines will have improved by PBBM's administration. Still, Philippine beaches are the best!

Look into homeless people in US and Canada then compare sa housing ni FPPRD and now PBBM. Kayo talaga, yong perang inilagay sa infrastructures tinatawag nyong ninakaw pero yong milyones na ginastos kuno sa nag collapse na kahoy na bridge, tulay na walang tubig, pabahay na coco ang ginamit ay ok sa inyo? Maski ba dito sa mga bloggers na nag enjoy sa Pinas ay sisiraan nyo pa si PBBM.Anong klaseng citizen kayo?
@@JaiPickOfficialuunlad ka lang kung di ka anak ng anak, tapos di mo nmn pala kaya pag aralin. Tapos pag nahirapan isisisi sa gobyerno. Haha
Thank you for choosing our country, The Philippines! 🇵🇭
They didn't choose the Philippines. In fact, they'd much rather prefer Bangkok over Manila. And they wouldn't stay in Brownout-infested Philippines due to their jobs as vlogging travelers. They just compared the two countries.
@@Spy-hp8ki don't travel here in the Philippines, ok.
Great content, but I must react on one point : the cost. I just spent 2 months around Thailand (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, Koh Kood - the best -, Koh Mak, Chiang Mai and of course Bangkok), and it is wayyy cheaper then El Nido, for exemple. You can pay more in Thailand for some rooftops, trendy bars, western food, but you always have A LOT of street food and cheap options, especially for the food and the accommodations. In the Philippines, you have way less choices, and the averages prices are higher!
Yes Thailand definitely has way more food and accommodation options due to being more touristy, especially with street food as you mentioned. In our experience recently visiting both countries we actually paid less for accommodation in the philippines though and even in el nido, guess it depends on what each person finds. El Nido might be the most extreme of them all in the philippines, the same way Phuket seemed to be way more expensive than anywhere else that we visited in Thailand. Where else did you go in the Philippines?

@@JumpingPlaces This article is a real petition and article from a Filipino that sees various problems which is more than Thailand in almost every aspect. And knowledgeable and educated people accept these things. But there are still some Filipinos who are still deaf and blind who cannot see the problems of their own country. But trying to cheer for their own country in the wrong way. The more people come out to support the wrong and random things, the bigger it will go causing the country to lack sustainable development. While Thailand has developed very far We can barely keep up. From modern, large airports, infrastructure systems in every province, the country is clean. People with knowledge and education.
Here are the Philippine problems that prevent foreign tourists from coming to our country:
1. We do not have a modern infrastructure like Thailand.
2. We do not have modern transportation, Subways, High-speed trains. Double track, Railway system Monorail
3. The internet is weak or non-existent.
4. Power outage (power outage)
5. The water is weak or lacking or there is no water.
6. Robbery at NAIA Airport
7. Accommodation is very expensive.
8. There are many pickpockets, snatchers, and criminals in the Philippines. At the mall there must be soldiers everywhere with guns.
9. There are a lot of illegal taxi and tricycle drivers. Extorting money from locals and tourists Overcharging/defrauding foreign tourists
10. Garbage or rubbish on roads and sidewalks Including in many rivers and canals.
11. Even on beaches, seas, forests, and mountains, there is garbage..plastic bottles, plastic bags, wrapping paper, and other garbage.
12. Vendors sell illegal goods on the street/sidewalk. There were merchants in the middle of Badian Valley. San Sai Panglao and the banks of the seas of El Nido and Coron. Dirty and there is a lot of garbage in our environment and nature. Shop in the right place.
13. Smugglers, street people, and beggars everywhere. especially children that asks for money from foreigners
14. Our medical and public health systems still lag behind when compared to Thailand.
Then we say "It's more fun or better in the Philippines" ??? It is very embarrassing! Tourism stimulates our local economy as foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local businesses earn more money. Local and national governments must take some steps to address these issues. I want to see Thailand as a good example of development.
Thank you for this video! Much needed and appreciated. We always go to Thailand, different islands for our vacations. This year we booked Philippines and needed this compare video. Now so excited to go in November. We only have 3 weeks and chose El Nido, Boracay, and Coron.
@@kimlove5760not when you stay in the resorts. The beaches in the resorts are private and no vendors allowed. You have the peace and tranquility to enjoy the sun
Add Balabac in your list it is also in Palawan
Try visiting Isla Gigantes in Iloilo which is very near in Boracay since it's the same Island in Panay. Also Iloilo is awarded as the most cleanest City in the Philippines and I hope you can visit the City and its long river esplanade.
@@kimlove5760 not anymore because after the rehabilitation boracay, street vendors are not already allowed to sell in the beachfront
Nice pick! Coron = adventyre, El Nido = relaxation, Boracay = nightlife. Next stop = Cebu, Bohol, & Siargao.
Thank you for sharing this! I really appreciate the objective viewpoint of your experiences. I’m from Canada and I’ve been to both places and I do love both places for different reasons. I’m a nature lover though and I do love the diversity of landscape and climates in the Philippines and the culture itself feels like a a diverse mix of Latin America, Pacific Islands, Asia and Europe. It’s quite unique.
Great comparisons guys
In my own personal opinion, Philippines have the best beaches for sure but Thailand has a lot more to offer with culture, food and everything else so I would go for Thailand. However, I love both countries
Yes you're right Thailand has been a lot to offer like child,gay,lady boy,women,and hunk men are prostitute
That's why Thailand lots western country love to visit explore and of course to expirince
Both countries are beautiful. Each country has it's own beauty and charm. All the signs, signages and directions to locations in the Philippines are readable in English or Spanish. The local peoples of both countries are friendly and love to smile. You can easily converse or share a joke with Filipinos they being English speakers. Going to a hospital or a pharmacy is easier in the Philippines because English communication is no problem. English is the 2nd official language of the Philippines.
When you choose between Philippines & Thailand its like you choose between Apple & Orange, Hands down both countries are beautiful with unique attraction from their own countries..But for me it's Philippines..you can find in the Philippines some more unique beauty of nature & wonder of nature which are not man made such as Mt.Mayon, Chocolate Hills etc..
I am totally I agree with you.. Philippines is still the best
For me you can find the country that have beautiful beaches everywhere….. but you can’t easily find the country in Southeast Asia that has the most ancient and strongest cultures to the root and top like Thailand, which is never ever colonized by others countries before. And I really Pround of it 🙏🏼. #thankyou for visiting us even in short term. Hope you both can stay in Thailand more longer then you will see a lot of things that you miss.✌🏼😊
from the philippines here,, thank you ,, for loving both countries
Thank you so much for the appreciation in the Philippines.. Proud Filipino.. 💓💓💓💓
I like the balance comparison of Thailand and the Philippines. I too wanted to visit Thailand, I like their culture and history of kingdoms of the past way back thousands of years and they are in national geographic series also. The Philippines don't have that archeological structure to offer because as we all know we are just a small group of tribes living on different islands of the past.
I certainly want visit both country! For all these reasons I’m sure they are both amazing with their differences
Thank you

A 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Filipina here watchin from 🇦🇪🇦🇪 thanks for the ❤❤❤ to my country🎉
You both nailed it Chris and Carol.. Cheers to more travel vlogs.. 🥂
Can't wait to see you back in the Philippines for more island discovery.. 🥰🫰🇵🇭
Thanks Chris and Carol for your fair comparison between the Philippines and Thailand.
Hello Chris and Carol. Thanks for sharing your experience in the Philippine and Thailand.
Ive watched alot of your videos, but this was the first one in almost a year. It is nice to hear Carol talk to us - in the episodes I saw before, she barely talked at all.
If you're a UA-camr, definitely choose the Philippines because Filipinos love foreigner saying something nice about the country. If you like better food, faster internet, more convenient metro rail and nicer international airport..choose Thailand.
Both countries are beautiful. They are incomparable because each country has its own unique feature. They are both cheap though Philippines is little more pricey when it comes to transportation and accomodation.
Agreed. These two countries shouldn’t be compared but PH vs some country, especially Thailand, contents usually get the most views and comments from the proud Filipinos which help your channel grow fast. Can’t wait for PH vs the world!
For many years, Hotel in ph were more costly than Thailand. But, times have changed. Internet has increased competition and reach.
Many new hotels and new Airbnb in Makati and other places in ph.
Balabac, Philippines is so gorgeous and most beautiful beach in the world. I'm there this coming April.❤ from Barcelona Spain
Gracias. Greetings from Manila. 333 years. You know the history by now.
100% l love Thailand, nice people
had to leave a comment because this video is extremely detailed & covers all of the important points to consider when planning a trip. thank you guys so much for taking the time & effort to produce this video!!
a friend & i were looking for somewhere in southeast asia for our next travel, we really wanted somewhere that was affordable, laid-back & relaxing. we both love nature & beaches a lot, after watching your video, we'll consider the Philippines!
sounds great, the major tourist sites like el nido are quite expensive now though. But if you go to lesser known areas it is very affordable
Really enjoyed this comparison, as I have been torn between both as upcoming travel destinations. Thanks for making the decision easier for me and thank you as well for being the travel vloggers whose opinions matter most to me. Given the wealth of online content contributors who specialize in both of these two particular locations, and southeast Asia overall, it is a great comfort to me to have the benefit of your like-minded advice and impressions.
As a Filipino who’ve travelled and enjoyed Thailand thrice, I guess the number one issue with my own country is it is too spread out. That is why I was quite surprise to hear Chris and Carol say it is less expensive here when one need to hop on a plane, ferry, boats, etc going to island destinations. Reason why these foreign vloggers are closely followed by locals, and read comments how they have been to places in the Philippines most locals haven’t had the chance of visiting.
Thank you for your honest opinions. And hope to see you again and again here in the Philippines.
Don't come to Philippines just making blogger to earn money .. stay in Thailand
You hit the spot on the two. There'll always be a comparison between Thailand and the Philippines. In a nutshell, Thailand is better infrastructure-wise, as well as in food. The Philippines is with many more islands and is more rustic, much lesser number of tourists. - a Pinoy who's lived in Bangkok once before
Now the Philippines has a goog structures now.
@@lourdes86179 Maybe. But not in Cebu. I just went there last week and the roads are like you're walking on the moon, like craters; so many potholes everywhere. Terrible roads.
@@Spy-hp8ki a lot of work .20 years after big dfferent.
@@Spy-hp8ki you know cebu been hit typhoon odette right that one of reason
@@potatoprincess1517Cebu's roads have been terrible way BEFORE Typhoon Odette, pa. So to say the poor infrastructure of Cebu was caused by the typhoon is quite LAME.
Philippines considered to be as a best destination place in world why is that most foreign vloggers stays longer and keep coming back comparing to the other countries it is not the food the places, but the people who are not only hospitable but considered as generous and voted amongst the top ten best friendliest people in the entire planet and can be easily to communicate because we can be able to speak better in English comparing to Thailand salamat Po babalik at babalik pa mga Yan seriously honestly,always be safe guys it means that both of you will sure be back here in the country salamat and God Blessed 😊👍
They are coming back because hahaha easy views 🤣😂😂
LoL.. overproud.. try to compare yearly tourist arrivals between the 2 countries.. obviously the national governmnt tourism is not a priority..
We appreciate your honest impression about the Philippines. Hope you visit again in the future. Muchas gracias ! ❤ 🇵🇭
Yup I agree last year I visited Thailand and last week I returned from Philippines 🇵🇭 both are amazing but if u want to enjoy beaches and peace Philippines is best and peaple are so humble over there while Thailand has great nightlife
So to summarize :
Beaches - Philippines.
Culture ( Temples) - Thailand
Ease of communication/Friendliness - Philippines
Infrastructures (Roads, Hotels)- Thailand
Less cheaper - Philippines
Faster internet- Thailand
Island hoping - Philippines
Foods - Thailand
I am in the US and I have never been to Thailand and Cebu or Mindanao. But if I'm gonna choose, I'll pick Thailand for visit.
Great comparison! 🇵🇭
The people,the prices,culture and stunning beaches,Philippines win
I am from Indonesia, and I prefer Thailand over the Philippines. I love Thai foods, cultures, and nature more. The people are not only friendly but very polite too...I have one friend from Thai and he is really nice. Wish the majority of Thai people are nice like him.
I am from Philippines and i work in a Thai Restaurant here in the US for 12 years , all of the noodles they cook have the same sauce in it , all of the stir fry have the same too, and all of the salads have the same sauce , its been 2 years and a half i change my job but i never missed any of their food, honestly. FYI , Filipinos are known to be the 2nd friendliest Hospitable, warm and kind people in Asia 2nd to Cambodia
Thank you from thailand ❤
Your comparison is bang on. Having lived in both countries, I would also say that the Philippines is still unspoiled as a whole. Nice video.
I was born in the Philippines in the 1970’s, and starting with kindergarten I was taught in English in a public school system. Even my parents growing up were taught in English, so they start us off early! 😊
Uh ... so what's the point?
Awesome videos guys.....we love you from the Philippines!...stay safe....miss you guys...
ganda , love the differences ❤️👍 salamat po ❤️
yes lots of backpackers in thailand because it is a continues land until vietnam. its easy for the travelers to go every places where as in Philippines we are divided by islands
I'm Thai. I have read comments from the Filipinos. Love their attitudes. That is why many people love to visit their country. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Filipino but I love Thai food so good😍😍
for me is good both country.. I love thailand & Philippines..❤️ nice county paradise.. GOD bless..
well for me english and color of the seawater crystal clear for philippines is the difference..
I've been to both countries but I lived in the Philippines. For me, it is The Philippines, always :).
I've been to European Coast, Caribbean, Thailand, but nothing compare to powdery white sands and crystal clear water of Philippine beaches... But I love the culture of Thailand, really amazing...
Thanks for a bunch of key points of constructive criticism for the Philippines 🇵🇭 🤔 I kinda like it said genuinely straight from tourist bloggers like both of you ❤️❤️❤️
I just want the Philippine government had sometime reading and reviewing videos like this from critic bloggers nowadays so that.. they would have better understanding on how to enrich more our potential for tourism 🙄..

Chris & Carol: These two Southeast Asian countries are just remarkable for ALL tourists to visit in 2023.There are many great beaches, restaurants,hotels, entertainment centers,malls, etc. in 2023❤❤❤
I think you both are really in the best position to do this kind of video bec you’ve traveled extensively, stayed long periods and even explored and visited non-touristy areas
I agree thai food is very influential. Even here in the Philippines you’ll see lots of Thai resto. Food tastes great too!
Philippines has got beautiful beaches and Thailand has got fabulous temples.
Philippines = Beaches and People
Thailand = Culture and Food
Philippines culture is hidden, if it was made a product for tourists it blows Thailand away
Exactly as a filipino I agree
I'm Filipino:
Thailand has better cuisine. Hands down, probably the best in Southeast Asia.
The Philippines has better and more beaches, since it's an archipelagic country, unlike Thailand which is a mainland Asian country and has much lesser islands.
The Philippines has better dive sites and marine biodiversity since it is in the center of the Coral Triangle, while Thailand is not.
Waterfalls are the same. Since both are limestone karst-rich countries. With blue waters.
Thailand has more exotic traditional art and culture, the Philippines is more Hispanicized and Americanized. So Thailand has gorgeous temples, the Philippines has old churches.
Thailand has better tourism infrastructure, better internet, more hotels. The Philippines is really still just starting to develop its tourism industry. But that has downsides too, Thailand is far more crowded and more expensive, in contrast to the Philippines where you can still find isolated tourist areas known only to locals and is much cheaper.
As a Filipino we’d been 3 times in Thailand and we enjoyed very much roaming all around Thailand. The foods is delicious only very hot hot for me it does not matter where you are important is, you enjoyed your vacation and thats all that matters. I loved Thailand too❤️
I love this review. Comparing 2 countries which are equally amazing in their own rights, you did it the best way possible.
